What is this "order of operation" cult now with math?

Which leads to my distaste of (basic) mathematics as subject, until found the RPN which made it logical and enjoy to use once again. Łukasiewicz were indeed right.

LOL Yes but RPN would not really help us for this case. It would just make us responsible for deciding what order to solve the equation.

Hehe. Don't change forget that the infix would be banned so we would not need this kind of semantic discussion arising from invisible brackets and transformation from superior written format to lesser typed format (both algebraig).

There would not be floating around 8/2(2+2)=? questions.
There would be something like:
8 2 / 2 2 + × = ?
8 2 2 2 + × / = ?
Without amquity. ..and because no ambiquity these would have no value of arising depate.

..and since these would be notation learned from the beginning it would be as expressive as now is written algebraic format.

That is if Lucasevich was absolutely right.
